Sorry, i disagree. There are services who already offer off-ramping BTC to €, being more cost-effective than any other payment solution on the market, from a payment processing point of view. Also to have currency ecoysystem closed you can't forget about the importancy of merchant adoption. But i also agree that Self custodial education is important too.
Personally, I can't wait for merchant adoption. I'd love to be able to earn & buy more stuff with bitcoin.
But those solutions (are you talking about strike or open node?) are custodial & therefore have other large risks. To accept bitcoin/LN transactions in a "self custodial" way takes A LOT of education. They essentially need to run a LN node & all the connectivity & liquidity balancing that comes with it.

Fair point. I spoke about other solutions, especially designed to have a regulated, secured and easy approach even for the employees of the merchant. And these solutions are non-custodial :) I think a merchant might be busy focusing on his business these days and earn enought revenue. Running a Node needs time and money, why not use a specialized solution?
